Ganesh Chaturthi also known as Vinayaka Chaturthi is one of the important Hindu festivals celebrated throughout India with a great devotion. This day is celebrated as the birthday of Lord Ganesh, the elephant-headed son of Lord Shiva and Goddess Parvati.
Lord Ganesh is the symbol of wisdom, prosperity and good fortune. The Ganeshotsav festivities begin on Ganesh Chaturthi and end after 10 days on Anant Chaturdashi, also known as the day of Ganesh Visarjan. On this day, devotees immerse idol of Lord Ganesha in a water body close by.
There are two different versions about Ganesha's birth. One has it that Mother Parvati created Lord Ganesh using turmeric and set him to guard her while she finishes her bath. Lord Shiva came at that time, but Lord Ganesh didn’t know him and stop him from entering. Lord Shiva become more furious and severed the Ganesha’s head. After a fight between Lord Shiva and Parvati, Shiva promised Lord Ganesh will live again. Devas who went in search of a Ganesha’s head could manage only the head of an elephant. Lord Shiva fixed the elephant’s head on the child and brought him back.
The other legend has it that Ganesha was created by Shiva and Parvati on request of the Devas, to be a vighnakartaa (obstacle-creator) in the path of rakshasas (demonic beings), and a vighnahartaa (obstacle-averter) to help the Devas.
On that day, we make special traditional dishes like Vella kozhukattai (modakam) using coconut and jaggery filling, uppu kozhukattai with lentil filling and ammini kozhukattai. Celebrate Ganesh Chaturti by preparing these delicious traditional dishes......
